"The music is thoroughly enjoyable and will certainly dazzle the audience."

Tamra D'Ann Paselk, Soprano, has entertained audiences across the world as an operatic soprano with her unique interpretations of both newly developed and classic characters. She was most recently praised by the New York Concert Review for delivering a "consistently evocative, engrossing account of Britten's Les Illuminations" in her performance with the Park Avenue Chamber Symphony. Equally at home on the operetta/theater stages, Ms. Paselk has been featured with Gilbert& Sullivan groups in both San Francisco and New York in addition to frequenting the works of Offenbach and, more recently, her own cabaret show.
